Richard
Hello!
Having homes on three Continents has given me a unique cultural perspective. I love travelling and learning new things up close and personal such as viewing the Sistine Chapel in Rome or attending a Flameco show in Seville, Spain. I enjoy discussing History, Art, Leadership and Personal Development Skills. I also enjoy teaching the origins of American idioms such as, " Raining Cats and Dogs", and "Under the Weather". My goals are not just to teach English as a second language, but to also expand your minds and to "Think Outside of the Box." If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you already have
Originally from San Francisco, California, I now reside in Chile and Spain where I reside part of the year. I provide seminars and presentations on "Being Extraordinary". I have been teaching ESL for more than 10 years where my philosophy is to "Engage and Energize". As an Internationally known Motivational Speaker and Personal Development Coach, I have provided my mentoring service for more than 20 years “The greatest power of extraordinary is to provoke extraordinary thoughts!” ― Mehmet Murat

Teaching Style
Engaging and Fun. Read what one mother wrote about my teaching her son: "Teacher Richard, thank you so much for such a wonderful and productive class, you taught Daniel how to give hooks to audiences at the first 30 seconds of a speech, you taught him the approach of 'carrots and sticks', the principal of 'elevator pitch'…… it's very impressive and inspiring, it's much more than an English class! Daniel enjoyed this class very much, you are really professional and knowledgeable teacher, we are lucky to meet you! Thank you again teacher Richard!"
